Dr. Wright is Mr. Rogers compared to McCains "Richard Quinn" 2000 presidential campaign, McCain employed a man named Richard Quinn in his South Carolina organization. Quinn was a toxic figure, writing: "King Day should have been rejected because its purpose is vitriolic and profane.

McCain defended Quinn as a "respected" and "fine man." He refused to fire him from the campaign
